In Response to Re: Jordan Caron : Wall Street is the biggest sham this side of Milli Vanilli. But honestly, I see the CORSI rating as reliable as +/-. Way too many factors involved to be reliable.Posted by Not-A-Shot

In Response to Re: Jordan Caron : Agreed San. I'm not sure why anyone thinks a player's career can be defined before he's even 21 years old. Caron is neither a sure thing nor a bust. He's just a young pro that's still learning his trade.Posted by dezaruchi

dez - What were you just saying about Caron's confidence as just exhibited on the go-ahead goal? He bulled his way towards the net on that one. We're slowly starting to see gains in him.Posted by RichHillOntario

It's all about feeling like you're able to do something and then maybe you will.

Caron is finally playing with the effort that I have been asking for and has been the best player on the ice for the Bruins the last 2 games. I believe Jack said at one point that he was 300 times better then he has been at any point with the Bruins. Not sure who or what got to him, but obviously something did. Now if he can continue to play with this energy, I will be a happy camper. In addition, I love the way that MacDermid is playing, he skates well and finishes his checks, exactly what a young player with size and strength should do while on the bottom 2 lines!

In Response to Re: Jordan Caron : Currently, does he look better then Pouliot ?Posted by Chowdahkid-

Sure, but I don't think that Pouliot has looked bad. Benoit was the player that showed pretty good hand eye to bat the puck out of the air off the backboards into the slot for Jordan's first goal. That line was playing very well "together", I thought Kelly stepped up his game as well, he had been kind of flat for awhile.

this is really exciting. There is nothing I love more in sports than seeing a young guy find his game and become a player. Hopefully the Sox will have a couple of guys do that this season too. Meantime, keep on moving those feet Jordon.

I agree MeanE, for all the grief Pouliott has taken, some of it deserved, I think he is neck and neck with Rolston for the 12th spot. When Peverley comes back, however, I would ultimately play Rollie, because of his penalty kill capabilities.

If MacDermid continues to play the way he has, it wouldn't surprise me if he bumps both Pouliott and Rolston from the 12th spot with the return of Peverley and Paille. I would be surprised if he continues to be effective, it ssems realatively easy to string a few good games together, consistency has been the issue with most of these call ups.

Ricky, what separates Pouliot and Rolston is special teams. Rolston plays both and is effective at it. He's actually more useful in odd man situations than he is at even strength.
